Kim is surprised when she receives a call for help from [[ArchEnemy Dr. Drakken]] of all people, although it turns out to actually be a one Private Cleotis Dobbs, whose body Drakken has stolen for some sinister purpose. Before heading off to save him, Kim laments about the upcoming cheer regionals, which leads she and Ron to have a discussion about how easy the other's life is. Soon, they arrive in Drakken's new lair located near the Grand Canyon, and, though they manage to escape with Dobbs, end up having their minds switched in the process.

At school, both learn how hard the other actually has it; Kim finds that Ron is bullied and generally mistreated by the student body, while Ron learns that Kim's popularity results in her volunteering for many projects, which leaves her stressed. They also learn that Drakken stole Dobbs body to steal "the Neutronolizer" a powerful military weapon no one seems to know anything about. Eventually, the three track Drakken to his new lair (a time share with Professor Dementor) but are captured.

Drakken returns to his normal body and decides to use the Neutronolizer since the world did not meet his demands [[ItMakesSenseInContext (due to him making his ultimatum with a puppet)]], but it blows the power, so he decides to destroy the base. Freed by Dobbs, Kim & Ron use the Kimmunicator's power core to power the brain switch machine and restore themselves to normal, as the base explodes, leaving the Neutronolizer okay (as it's "dang near indestructible"). Back at Middleton High, Ron is surprised to be given gifts by his former D-Hall bullies, with Kim explaining she gave them a little "sensitivity training" while still in his body.

----!!This episode provides examples of:* AccidentalPervert: Kim (in Ron's body) gets tossed into girls' bathroom by a couple of bullies, much to Bonnie's indignation.* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Ron figured being popular like Kim would be a "can of corn"; how wrong he was. * BigRedButton: The SelfDestructMechanism on the timeshare lair is activated with one of these. * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: When Drakken (in Dobbs' body) finds out that Dobbs (in Drakken's body) escaped, he vents his rage at Shego... who is intimidated and actually resorts to flirting with him to deflect his wrath. This can't be chalked up to the fact that he now has a soldier's body -- Dobbs' physical appearance is, if anything, even less intimidating than Drakken's.* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Drakken's first lair, located near the Grand Canyon, is one of these.* {{Foreshadowing}}: The timeshare lair also belongs to Professor Dementor who [[Recap/KimPossibleS1E20RonTheMan shows up many episodes later.]] * FreakyFridayFlip: Kim and Ron; Drakken and Dobbs.* FreezeFrameBonus: If you pause when Kim!Ron is kicking one of Drakken's henchmen, you can see that the bottom of his shoe reads "Made in Hollywood." * IdTellYouButThenIdHaveToKillYou: While Dobbs (in Drakken's body) accidentally mentions the Neutronaliser, Kim's dad jokingly asks if this trope applies. Dobbs [[{{Beat}} pauses awkwardly for a moment]], and tells everybody to [[YouDidntSeeThat forget that he'd said anything]].** In any case, all Dobbs knows about the Neutronaliser is its name and the fact that he's supposed to keep everybody but authorized personnel away from it.* InsistentTerminology: Ron doesn't have dumb luck, he has "dumb skill." ** Also, getting food is always called "snackage", never "lunchage" cause that's just way stupid. * TheMeddlingKidsAreUseless: When you think about it, Kim and Ron didn't do anything to foil Drakken's plan. Not only did they get captured due to being in each other's bodies, but Drakken's plot was foiled on its own due to the power being drained out of the timeshare lair. Basically, the only reason they went there was to switch back to normal.* NoodleIncident: Kim apparently once delivered a donkey's calf in the dark and rain. * PunctuatedForEmphasis: "I. Want. My. Body!" said twice by Drakken-in-Dobbs'-body. * SelfDestructMechanism: Drakken's timeshare conveniently has one. * ShaggyDogStory: Ultimately, Kim and Ron aren't responsible for Drakken's plan being foiled, it being because the mind-switch machine drained the timeshare lair's power and Drakken decided to engage the SelfDestructMechanism. Furthermore, Drakken was able to easily capture Kim and Ron in their swapped state and they ultimately need help from Sergeant Hobbs to escape.* ShoutOut: Several sources have claimed that the scene of Kim/Ron switching brains, with their spirits shown ghosting into the other, is taken from the classic [[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]] episode ''Turnabout Intruder'' [[note]] A.k.a. the one where the AxeCrazy lady takes over Kirk's body because [[StayInTheKitchen women can't be starship captains.]] [[/note]]* UnusualEuphemism: "Jumping catfish!" * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one in the audience seems upset or confused about a boy participating in cheerleading regionals. * VoicesAreMental: Standard example where the characters retain their usual voices despite having each other's bodies and--presumably--vocal cords. * WithMyHandsTied: Dobbs!Drakken headbutts Shego this way. * WouldntHitAGirl: Dobbs says his mother never told him to do so... unless she locked him in a crate. ----
